Once again, I’m ridiculously excited to have a friend guest posting on my blog. Stacy’s one of those people who you just can’t help liking. She’s funny and sweet, and she’s an excellent writer. Her novel, Endless Days of Summer, is set to release in July. I loved her story, “New York Minute,” for Young Love, Old Hearts. Today, she’s going to talk about…Pokemon. Yes, you read that right.
Pokemon
by Stacy O’Steen
Pokemon. I know what you’re saying—I can hear it already but hear me out. Pokemon is about the need to collect a bunch of creatures to further your abilities and make you better equipped to handle what comes your way. Each Pokemon has a skill set and bring it’s own unique personality to the table. Even if you have two of the same type of Pokemon they wouldn’t be the same because they would have different personalities. Therefore, attached to someone’s Pokeball belt is a veritable smorgasbord of talent and ability.
That is what we have done here. Think of Young Love, Old Hearts as a Pokebelt and all the authors are compacted into their individual Pokeballs with laptops and wifi to bring you a variety of stories. Some will enlighten you, some will entice you and if you’re lucky you will walk away with a better understanding of something you didn’t know before. Every story contained within comes from people with varying degrees of experience. For some this is their first time in the arena, but they all came out fighting. So catch a copy before it’s gone, because you know Team Rocket is out to get them first.

Everyone hears “He’s too young for you.” “She’s too old for you.” Not between these pages. This anthology crosses the age gap with nine enchanting stories of cross-generational relationships.

About the Publisher
Supposed Crimes, LLC publishes fiction and poetry primarily featuring lesbian characters and themes. The focus is on genre fiction–Westerns, Science Fiction, Horror, Action–rather than just romance. That’s how we set ourselves apart from our competitors. Our characters happen to love women and kick ass.
“Supposed crimes” refers to the idea that homosexuality is outlawed, and that our authors are being subversive by writing. As times change this becomes more tongue-in-cheek, but can still apply broadly to our culture. Christians writing lesbians and men writing lesbians are also subversive ideas in this industry, and we promote people bending the rules.
